My output

[1] 14950 segmentation fault (core dumped) ./tests/string-dynamic-array
I get a segmentation fault.
The issue as far as I've found is in the code where I expand the array, in the expand()
function. I think it's in the for loop because the index of for loop is out of bounds of the original array.
I've tried this with int
, it seems to work fine. How can I do this with strings?
As commented by UnholySheep. I changed my expand function a bit so the loop only runs till the size of the old array.
Updated expand function:
void expand()
{
mCapacity *= 2;
std::string* temporaryArray = new std::string[mCapacity];
for (size_t i = 0; i < mNumberOfElements; ++i)
{
temporaryArray[i] = mArray[i];
}
delete[] mArray;
mArray = temporaryArray;
initialize(mNumberOfElements);
}
In “expand” method you have deleted mArray, then, you copied the temporaryArray to it, while as far as I know, mArray's handle is not valid anymore. You need to pass temporaryArray's handle to mArray so you could use it as a new expanded array.
